This is a scan of Volume 006 of Short Stories, containing three issues (April, May, & June 1891 - issues 11, 12, & 13). While it doesn't have the covers (or ads - or the table of contents) for the individual issues, it does have a nice scan of the original publisher's bound volume binding with the magazine logo on the front cover.

The stories in the .pdf have been bookmarked for ease of access. With the touch of your mouse pointer, you can instantly go to any story in the bound volume.

These early issues of Short Stories are far different from the later pulp issues of the magazine that most of us are familiar with. It was closer in format to its contemporary, The Black Cat, but unlike that magazine it relied more on reprints and translations from foreign publications than original content.

Instead of only two issues (as the previous five volumes of Short Stories had consisted of), Volumes 006 through 008 contained three issues.
